Classic Fine Burgundy: Tour de Cote d'Or & Chablis with West London Wine School
Wednesday 28 October 2015
,
Join us as we discover the wonderful array of charming villages to be found in the prestigious Cote d'Or and Chablis in Burgundy. Famed as the area where the greatest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay comes from will we investigate the myriad of styles to be found across all the famed villages including Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-St-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Meursault and so on.
In addition we will taste FIVE Premier Crus that are some of the greatest vineyard sites to be found across the region. We've also got THREE wines from the highly-praised 2009 vintage rated by Robert Parker as 95/100 and Clive Coates MW (Master of Wine) at 19/20 placing it as the best vintage in 15 years since 1999. This tasting really goes to town on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a variety of vintages – get involved for a fantastic tasting...
